Brian Laundrie remains missing; the police search for him continues.

Anyone have sponsorship ideas for the fugitive influencer?

The people who filmed were spooked by finding the van in their footage.
But the really spooky part is, they probably filmed it within hours of her death on Aug 27:

Nope. Both Peterson guys were convicted, even without a body.

A sad story and it sucks I’m sure. I’m sad to report that there is an ecosystem of fud on social media which is telling a very toxic story (while of course knowing no more than anyone else).
As an aside, I am forced to wonder how many women have gone missing in the last week who aren’t photogenic young and white.

For once the constant need to film one’s life for the 'tubes has turned out to be a good thing.
My GF has been giving me updates on the case.

Gotta wonder what influence the effort of Insta’ing the trip had these two - could she have split sooner if not for the pressure of likes and impressions? Something happens to shake the belief in the relationship but the weight of other’s expectations keeps them together?
This need for validation because of social media… who hasn’t seen someone IRL boldly step in front of a speeding train and say “I have a YouTube channel !!”. Sane decision making processes are suspended.
Very sad for all involved. I’m indifferent if they find the boyfriend alive.

That spooked me, too, watching it. They mentioned that they thought about stopping to say hi, bc of the same state plates.
Makes one wonder if they might have seen or heard something. Or prevented (or, delayed?) something.
Totally spooky.
From the brief part I saw, that couple overall looks totally kind. What a nice tribute to their son

Welcome to BB.
In the various posts about this tragedy, many of the members of this forum have emphatically made that exact same point, myself included.

VPN for sure. When you’re addicted to attention but no longer want anyone to know where you are.

Or threats from Brian Laundrie kept them together. There may have been nothing Gabby Petito could have done to avoid being murdered. Or maybe she just expected Brian Laundrie to do what billions of men do every day and refrain from murdering anyone. We just don’t know. A speeding train is not like an angry man; a speeding train simply can’t stop quickly, whereas angry men can refrain from murder.

That sentence is really, horribly phrased, just sayin’.

First, it was NOT on Petito to AVOID being murdered. FFS. It was on Laundrie not to be abusive and NOT to murder her. Don’t victim blame…
ALSO: Women often stay in abusive relationships because they are afraid and constantly being gaslit by their partners. It’s an active tactic by abusers to keep the abused to stay. Isolate them, and make them feel that they deserve the abuse and have no alternative to the abuse.
And yes, we know that many men never kill their partners. But there are many that do abuse their partners, from emotional and mental abuse, to various kinds of physical abuse and rape. Many, many, MANY women in every single society across the world (the VAST majority of us, in fact) have been subjected to some form of this kind of abuse. It is common and frighteningly normal for women.

Shocking no one, sadly.
I feel for her family.
